Nowadays the town, commonly referred to as a ghost town, caters for many tourists, prospectors, fossickers, mining and exploration companies, pastoralists and a local population of thirteen.

The Old Miner's Cottage is the last timber and iron building remaining in Kookynie from the turn of the 1900's and along with the Grand Hotel, old shops and the Cosmopolitan hotel ruins are the only remaining structures left offering a glimpse of it's past.
